Käthe Kollwitz

Social injustices, hunger, war, sorrow and death - these are the subjects most frequently associated with Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945). That nude representations also featured in all areas and phases of her work is less well known. The artist dedicated drawings, printed works on paper and sculptures to this subject. Initially these works were close to the symbolism of Max Klinger, and later developed into coloured prints that are on a par with the nudes of French modernism. And finally, there are the drawings and sculptures that reveal her enthusiasm for the work of Rodin and Maillol. Exhibition: Kunstforum Ostdeutsche Galerie Regensburg, Germany (24.08.-03.11.2013). 0.
